    Just like the Stormtrooper Troop Builder set, we need Clone Trooper set like this, a Jedi Knight set like this, and (possibly) a Bounty Hunter set (possibly)......does anyone else agree with me on any/all of these? Does anyone have any suggestions?

    If I'm not mistaken I believe the clone trooper and bounty hunter sets are coming. Or it could be just a couple in different poses not 100% sure.

    This year we have the following:

    A 3-pack of clone troopers (one yellow commander and two white troopers, both posed)

    A 4-pack of bounty hunters

    A 3-pack of Jedi

    and an Imperial 4-pack

    Happy hunting!

    Sweet I didn't know there were that many. Are they going to be in stores or online only?

    My guess would be in stores.


    P.S.
    The bounty hunter pack includes a 300th edition Boba Fett, Bossk, IG-88, and Aurra Sing.

    The Jedi pack includes a human, Twilek and Rodian Jedi.

    And the Imperial pack is Vader, storm trooper, Imperial astromech and ATST driver.

    I might have to get the Bounty Hunter set. It's hard to say no to a 300th edition Boba Fett. ;)

    There have also been a Rebel Fleet trooper builder set, an Endor Rebel Soldire troop set, and a Sandtrooper set.

    The Sandtrooper set is really good. It's the POTJ Sandtrooper, all cleaned up and with different shoulder pauldrons.

    i actually wish there were builder sets for most of the imperials/clones that have already been made. it might be good to have the opportunity to get a ton of snowtroopers, tie pilots, speederbike troops, clone pilots and imperial officers to recreate the big scenes with hundreds of massed soldiers.

    Everyone is talking about the Sandtrooper and Endor troop builder sets from the official fanclub site, but I can't find them anywhere! I'm a member of the official fan club and that's where I got my stormtrooper builder set for this Christmas, but I have yet to see anything about the Sandtroopers or Endor troopers. Am I looking in the right place? Can anyone help me out? :(

    I believe the Sandtroopers are scheduled for a May release date. We do need more Stormtrooper-type Troop Builder sets. I can understand Stormtroopers, Clones, and Sandtroopers. But a box full of 4 of the same looking rebel soldier just isn't the same.

    I guess the next best thing are the sets with accessories and one figure like the Death Star set with DS Commander, Endor set with Biker Scout, Arena Battle set with Battledroid, or Hoth set with Rebel Soldier.

    I want a Snowtrooper set, and a Hoth Rebel Soldier set where they all have different head sculpts.

    very good point about the need for different head sculpts in certain cases as opposed to some helmetted figures for which the same head is acceptable, RoG. that's where customizing comes into play, i guess.

    yeah, that bounty hunter package looks good.


    i wouldn't mind a builder set of pilots for the naboo starfighters. the guys in the orange coats that are freed by obi-wan and qui gon jinn would be cool.

    I think that they should definately have a set of the different species...like, above all, a Wookiee set, and also like a Rodian set or a set of Whiphids.....of course each of the figures would have to be distinguishable from the others in the set.....I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want a set of Wookiees that all had brown fur.....

    I'd love to see a Clone Trooper army builder set. I know we're getting the 3 pack and whatnot later this year, but a set of four preview Clone Troopers would be great for those of us who want a Clone army now.

    I know what you mean. I just can't get enough Clone Troopers myself.


    To enlarge my own Grand Clone Army, I bought one of those 10-piece bootleg sets advertised by RebelScum. Picture here! You get 5 marching Troopers, and 5 fighting troopers. They aren't too articulated, but they're great troop builders.

    I'm thinkin' like a set of "original" Jedi or Sith, like back before the days of Yoda.....I'm talking like Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma in the Sith set, and some of the original Jedi knights, so that I could re-enact some of that good old-fashioned Sith war......but they'd have to be a little bit more detailed, otherwise they wouldn't be quite as special...
